April on Quahog Bay is mud and meltwater, sand along the road shoulders and grass just beginning to think about waking up. Potvin Property Services LLC. starts the year there, raking out winter sand, clearing the lawns of broken branches, and getting the first cut down before the growth gets ahead of anyone. From then to October it is mowing and trimming on a rhythm you could set a week by. And when Great Island goes white again, those same drives get plowed and those same walks shoveled, storm after storm, dark to dark. A place looked after in April is a great deal easier to look after in January.
